Thinking I UNDERestimated just how brittle [SOME of] my bones now are, I then spent all of the next ... ~2.74 days [& change] suffering through the pain of my daily tasks. Not knowing how exactly to handle the pain, I contacted my main nurse for her advice. After hearing my synopsis then viewing & analyzing my arm, she concluded that--when trying to brace my fall with my RIGHT arm--I simply landed awkwardly on my RIGHT [NOT so] funny bone. As mt brain injury is almost entirely neurological, many of my nerves are EXTRA sensitive. Thus, even the most mundane stimuli--like a slight stumble--can make a limb feel as if it's on fire. Conversely, my many other nerves (in areas NOT affected by my accident) are very much dormant. They are NEVER, ever stimulated.
Thus, I emailed my trainer EARLY this morning to CANCEL my workout for today. I said I was hoping to feel better for our meeting on Friday. He appreciated my informing him & wished me well.
